- Yes, how many fine .357 revolvers, 12 gauge shotguns, 9mm pistols and such have you allowed "out of the barn" and had to later recapture!!! :-)

I've never had a grandfather so I literally consider this man the closest to one I've ever had.
Yeah mine both died before I was born, hickok would be my ideal grandad
same here!!!! my only grandpa died when i was really young. If I had a dad or grandpa i'd want him to be like hickok45!
I lost my two grandfathers this year, I was thinking about how he remind me of the one I knew the most of the two then I saw your comment... Hickock is the guntube grandpa
Gotta get out more bud
Yeah, I know the feeling, my one grandfather, I found out wasn't even my real grandfather, his real grandkids told me.... oh so sad... lol But would have been nice to have a real one.
“Back when riots were illegal” 😂. I love this guy!
Lmao now it's just another Tuesday.
“Mostly peaceful protests.” At least when their side is doing the Burning, Looting, and Murdering.
@@boscochou9710 Was January 6th a Tuesday? 🧐
He got me in to gums nearly 10 years ago. My collection is mainly wheel guns. Wonder why!
@@wecanjump7512 what do you mean? they have a whole commission for January 6th and still talk about it
where's the attention for the BLM/Antifa riots and all the democrats that supported them? "summer of love"
For many years, I heard my Pop tell the story how much he missed his WWII Carbine. He had to sell it in the 50s for car insurance when he was in College at Michigan State.
Yesterday was two years that he passed away....miss you Pop! ❤
You know; you should try to see if you can find one so you can have something to help with the memory
@@chrisgreer4885 You sound just like me 😀
I used to tell my Pop the same thing for decades. He always told me, "its won't be my gun...and don't surprise me with one!"
I respected his request, but never understood it 🤔
I've seen them for sale on different sites, but always honored his statement.
Cheers
Ah; one of those. By that I mean the people that for them the memory is often enough but they still wind up complaining for decades that this one thing was the greatest ever. That they tried others of the same make or model and it just never met up to the standards of the one that they had to let go. It wasn't the actual gun that he missed. He just wanted to gripe about the fact he had to sell the thing. That's the thing about memories. Never quite perfect but you don't want to let them go or let them fade and telling those stories brought them back for him.
Amen Bro. Sure miss mine too.
"Back when riots were illegal" That made me laugh
Yeah, speaking of riots, why on God's earth would we need the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the the follow-up in 1965? Equal justice under the law, removing Jim Crow... aaahhh, none of that was very important.... 14th Amendment, piss on it right? Rioting for that - not important right?
Lmao me too
But true.
@Perkz 45 ✰ No lives matter
😆
I’ve been lucky enough to never sell a gun that I’ve owned but I have missed out on plenty of deals at gun shows that I highly regret
I've always been impressed with the quality of the Ruger single action revolvers. The fit and finish are top notch.
No, really ? lol
Yeah, Ruger truly knows how to make a good revolver.
Another thing I learned is that gun makers used to start a certain gun out kinda "plain"and continue to "improve"it, in later marketing strategies, I suppose. So I went thru a stage of always trading to improve. When in reality, what I originally had turned out to retain the value and increase in value over the years, better than the later versions of the same gun.
I guess it's hard to understand if you didn't live thru what I call the Renaissance period of firearms, which was about 1960- 1995.
The days of blue steel that was so mesmerizing you could see your reflection in the finish.
And when the grain in the walnut stocks looked like fine furniture.
When Smith and Wesson Revolvers and JM Marlin Lever guns had no silly frame lock, or safety.
And no "read the safety manual before using gun" rollmarkings on the gun, anywhere.
Nowadays if you trade a polymer gun off, I suppose it's no big deal because most of those have no real character. They kinda look as lifeless as a sharks eyes.
I'm not knocking the firearms of today.
But I do get bored with black polymer.
I sold off all of my guns before moving to the West Coast - then met a friend into shooting and started buying again. The only one I really regret letting go was a Colt Trooper Mark III in .357 magnum - a sweet gun, easy to shoot and a real nail driver.
Yup, I have had mine for fifty years.
I found your trooper at a gun shop and bought it, shoots good thanks
@@kennardjohnson7875 Lmao
A shooting table covered with firearms of blued steel and wood brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat.
I think the people who don’t like revolvers are blissfully ignorant. All the tactical 9mms are great. But there’s just something about wood and steel right?! 🥰🥰
My Smith & Wesson Model 19 that I bought in 1970 is still deeply missed. I was convinced by my then wife that guns should not be around kids and if we wanted kids the gun had to go.
Well, it went, we had a beautiful girl, and then the wife left.
I feel for you so much my man. What a tragedy. Hope your little girl is well!
And your wife got shot
Just shows the gun should have stayed and the women should have left! If someone loves you they won’t be telling you to stop something g you love! I did the same thing and my ex left! Live and hopefully learn 🤔😳
I had an old pump 12 gauge, looked just like a trench gun with such an old nickel plated barel and ramped front sight. Miss that old piece. Found a 28gauge look alike later but it was during this most recent ammo shortage.
I have my Dad's 20 gadge shotgun, it has a 2 round magazine . My Grandfather gave it to my Dad when he was 16 in 1950.
@@geec5636 Sounds like a old Remington model 48. I have one in 16ga from early 40s.
@@bullboo1 yea, maybe its a bolt action Stevens Rifle Co from Chicopee Massachusetts
@@geec5636 Could be had one as a kid in .410 3 inch loved it and kept me fed. The Stevens model 58, 20 ga bolt action made by Savage nice hunting guns.
Urs all losses are sad. U had ur reasons. Mine was self induced. The only gun I lost which of course is the only one I want I traded for a tank of gas. 100 dollar gun. Sears 12g bolt action 2 round removable magazine with adjustable choke. That’s why I never let any gun go
My first love was S&W 686 6inch 357mgn. And i'm NEVER gonna let this one go -)
What a beautiful table full of wood&steel craftsmanship! Fantastic vid again 👍
I have a 4 inch, probably the last gun I would ever get rid of. If I had to only own 1 gun, for everything, that would be it.
Dear sir, I'm just starting to get into sport shooting and firearms. Pretty late I suppose since I'm in my mid twenties. But for every weapon I've had interest in, I've found a real good quality video made by you. For that I want to expose my deep gratitude to you for giving me all this information and encouraging this beautiful new hobby of mine.
Better late than never
Never too late! Be careful though gun buying is a slippery slope ,before you know it you are buying safe number 3.🤷♂️
I too got into collecting in my 20s. My family was not into firearms at all so I got to decide what types and brand names I liked. What do you primarily collect?
We all have one that got away. I work at a gun store sometimes and hear the stories every time I work. Mine was an early Remington 1100 20 gauge it was perfection. Thanks for sharing brother.
I'm sure for many of us it's a $75-$150 SKS
Or $200-300 AK's...REAL ones
Same here mine are
-1897 Winchester 12 gauge pump. First trap gun
-Early Walter P1 9mm steel Frame. Very fine firearm.
Colt New Frontier convertible. I have a Ruger Single six now.
Mr. H. great video. I am guilty of letting guns go and wish I had them back. Life has ups and downs, and our wallets do too. I never got rid of my very first gun. My Dad gave it to me for my birthday when I was 10. It is a 1947 Iver Johnson Safety Rifle, 22LR. It is accurate, works fine, and is in decent shape. Dad got it at a pawn shop. We did not have a lot of money. (yes we were poor, but I did not know it). That gun is not going away. I am 60 now and I realized I do have some guns that I do not shoot and really do not want very much, so I have been selling them. IF a gun strikes my fancy I will buy it. Most recently, believe it or not, I had never had a Ruger 10/22, so I got one. Added a red dot to it and it is amazingly fun for plinking, and squirrel hunting.
Wish I still had my Ruger security six in 357 mag, traded it for a 45 long colt stupid move
The one that got away from me. I was a teenager in the 90's and my friends wanted to go shooting. I didn't own a gun and asked my grandmother if she had anything. She showed me a 22 rifle and a revolver. The revolver cylinder was wobbly so I didn't trust it let alone have money for the ammo. So I let it go. Now i'm 50 and I wish I grabbed that revolver. Don't remember much about it other than it was a 5 round cylinder . . . break action.
A scofeild ? Or webly?
@@toolzrus5118 Could have been a Webley. It's been a good 30 years. I just remember 5 round chamber break action. Bore looked large enough to be 45. Edit; now that I googled the scofield I can confirm it was probably a Webley. Barrel was probly no more than 5".
It was probably an h&r break action or old Smith n wession
I have a Blackhawk in .357. I think the firearms store that sold it to me bought it at an estate sale. It was made in 1963. It’s a little worn, but very functional. I see my role as the caretaker of this firearm.
A little worn ? really ?
Send it to Ruger for refinishing then.
@@carminemurray6624 : if I do that they will modify it from a four clicker to that safety bar set up. I want it to be original
Romanian SKS, I loved that thing....and its been gone for a long time, I might get it back if I ever find one for sale at a reasonable price
You are so right! I've done the same thing multiple times through life.
Dearly love this vid. Brings back such a warm nostalgia and reminiscences.
Vietnam era Springfield M1A... I never owned it but I had the opportunity to get one and got a new M70 instead. I still think about that rifle I could've had and miss it haha.
Mine was a 6" Smith 686-2 that had a trigger and action job. Smith revolvers are smooth, but this one was positively wonderful.
mine was a 6" 586, I just recently replaced it with a like new 8 3/8 inch model.
I miss my Smith & Wesson 686 I sold but dont want to spend the $900 to get one back lol...Too many guns to try to go backwards...Its all about the journey, :)
Sir, I'm 41 years old... just now getting back into firearms...I just recently bought my first ever hand gun.... I'm WAY behind most of you in owning firearms...
I'm 37 and just bought my first 2 handguns. We're all new to something but that's the best part learning all the fun stuff.
Welcome to the club.👍🍺🍺😎🎸
Better late than never! And, you're watching the best gun channel to learn from.
Never too late brother. I'm 30 and just recently getting into firearms. Cheers.
Don't worry about being behind, keep moving forward...00TG from Illinois....
My first press was an RCBS Jr. that I bought in 1978 in Alamogordo, NM. In 1985 I replaced it with a Rock Chucker. Loved the comment 'When riots weren't legal". And yes, I have my own stories of those that "got away". Some haven't and never will. A Colt Frontier Scout revolver that I got for Christmas in 1959. A S&W 586 bought in England in 1985... and many more.
Always love your videos. Brought a little tear to my eye thinking of my first gun that I traded off. I've regretted it for 30 years and still am looking for a replacement. Never traded again. This is why I hang on to my guns as they all have memories associated with them.
my dad always told me never trade or sell a gun that you bought for more than 100 dollars. I can say im glad i listened to my old man, and hopefully no circumstance ever makes me feel this pain.
“Back when riots were illegal.” 😂
4" barreled S&W model 66. Pre-Hillay-Hole. Thanks for the share!!
Story time with Hickok to get us to the end of the day.
What a exquisit fine selection of guns on the table!!!!
Wow H45 you struck a cord. In 1969 I bought my first 2 firearms. Being of meager means I had to save up. My first pistol was a SW model 19 six inch and my first shotgun was a Ithaca 51. Traded for an old model Ruger 45 lc and Remington 1100. Never replaced them wish I had them now.
Great video great 👍
Been there done that. 2 that come to mind are a Smith Mod 28 I carried as a young officer, and a Walther PP 32 acp. Wish I kept them. Thanks for sharing Hickok!
My dad bought a Ruger security six 357 brand new in 73. He had it fitted with Pearl handle grips so we always called it “Aunt Pearl”. He passed away in 2019 and was passed down to me. If you were to tell me I could keep only one thing. It would be that
My first shotgun was a 20 gage Ithaca hammerless double gun. I found it, up against the wall, in the local hardware store in the little town in Washington where I grew up. It was chambered for 3 inch shells, the wood was perfect and the tubes were like mirrors. Turns out, it came with a leather case and cleaning kit. It was made in 1939, bought by a local man for his son, who later was killed in a car accident. I paid $35 for it in 1967. I don't think there was ever a box of shells fired through it before I bought it. It was a great little hunting shotgun, especially for quail, but I took ducks, Canada geese and chukars with it.
I left it with my folks in 1970 when I went into the Navy. Must have lived a hard life after that, because my little brother put both barrels into the side of my dad's '68 Plymouth Fury when he closed it after loading it in 1972 or so. He swore it had a hair trigger, but who really knows. After that, it disappeared into history.
I appreciate your channel and the vast varieties of firearms you bring to the table. Items I wouldn't have the opportunity to see function in person. I thank you for efforts.
love how good all the blued guns look. Ballistol really keeps blued guns looking tip top
Yep, I owned a Smith model 19 combat in mid 1970s. Paid $219 then and sold it on consignment in late 1980s (new dad with little ones around) . Big mistake! It had a trigger job with glass-like action and the deepest, shinny blueing ever! People don’t talk much about the early blueing finishes on older firearms. I’d love to own another one…especially one with the quality blueing finish. Oh, how I miss that fine specimen of a gun!
Man, what an amazing channel. It would be impossible to overstate the importance of what you bring to American culture. I say thank you, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
I just got my slippery gun back after 8 years, I'm so happy! Hope you all have that opportunity!
Ruger Blackhawk .357 was my first handgun, mid 70s. Winchester Model 70 XTR Featherweight in 30-06, beautiful great shooting high country special. S&W 681 that I carried as a personally owned duty weapon, most stable platform I ever used on duty but then the autoloaders came into vogue. Oh boy…..
Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.
God bless you and your family Hickok! ❤️
This is LD's husband. I let an original TRP get away, and I'll never see it again. Keep looking, but so far no luck. It did not have the front slide serrations, which in my eye destroy the looks of a 1911, and I try to always keep my hand away from the front of any barrel. Just my .02 worth. Stay safe, and please keep doing what you're doing, I truly enjoy your channel.
I love that your videos feel like we are just sitting on the front porch talking firearms with you!
i’m from the UK but almost all of my relatives have lived in the US or canada…..my grandad took a road trip in 64-6 in a VW bug from Halifax to vancouver, then he crossed into seattle and drove all across the states…..in canada he bought some .38 revolver to keep in his jacket but he had to give it to a friend before he crossed into the US….then in boise, idaho he bought a 1911 which he kept until 1970 when he had to go back to the UK…..in 1986 he went back to see the friend he gave that .38 to and by some miracle he still had it in a box in his garage….apparently it still fired just fine after 20 odd years
I’ve had a couple that I regret getting rid of when I was younger and poorer. HK 91, 1942 Inland M1 Paratrooper Carbine, S&W Model 19 4 inch, Belgian Mauser 98 chambered in 30.06. Just purchased as a keeper a Type 99 Arisaka. Slowly making up my collection of firearms. 🤓
While I carry a sub compact pistol I love revolvers. When I think of shooting handguns I ALWAYS pick up one of my S&Ws.
Colt 1903 rimless smokes .32 It was my great grandmothers purse gun. It was in absolutely beautiful shape. Think about it all the time. ☹️
Didn’t really hunt except for Ground Hogs! 🤣😂
We all want the things we had when we were younger.... Not just guns. Nostalgia is big money now. Great video!
Love hearing the history behind the gun as well as the actual gun!
Yep... sad to say, I had to part with a 45 Colt SAA 2nd gen 7.5" in "as new" condition, along with a Colt Match Target Woodsman, in the same pristine condition, back in the early eighties. Times were tough and I had bills to pay. My vault misses them, to this day.
Going through the comments it’s clear most people value American made classics. No one says I really miss that Glock, Sig, etc that “got away.”
Where are you from?
I have a model 1200 defender and it is honestly my favorite shotgun of all time! Love the maple furniture on mine
I picked up a basic 1200 defender years ago. Guess what, sold it. At the time I wanted something that would cycle the mini shells. Never ended up shooting it much and it had to go
Always enjoy these historic tales!
Thank you! This has been great therapy. It's great to know I'm not the only one.
I love when guns have wood on them! They look so classic and exclusive.
In 1967 my Pop bought me a birthday gift of a Winchester 94 in 30 WCF. He laid it away at the gun shop and paid $5 each payday until the $65 was paid in full. Pop and I shot our 94s every weekend for a few months before deer season and I'd reload the shells after school during the weekdays. The first day of Buck, Pop got a nice 8 pointer. He always worked 2nd shift, so he went to work and allowed me to hunt right behind the house that same day's afternoon. The Lord was watching over me and I harvested a 6 pointer. Mom called Pop's work and told his boss that one of the kids was sick and he had to come home right away. Unbeknownst to me that was their signal if I managed to get a deer. I could hear the horn blaring on dad's pick-up as he drove up the hill towards the house in the Red 59 Ford. Did that rifle get away? Heck No!!!!! When I hold that lever gun it's instantly 55 years ago back to 1967 again, and I'm a skinny 16-year-old again with his first deer. I hope the old Winchester someday gets to work its magic on another youngster. I might seem to be a tad greedy, but for now me and the gun are inseparable. I let other guns get away, but never this one.
When I was younger I had to sale my Browning B-80 12 gauge. I’ve since replaced it with a new Browning Auto-5.
Only one that got away is a sweet 16 Model 12. And that was stolen on a hunting trip! Took a few years to replace it. I now have the complete set.
The 870s I have are Wing masters
Great video! It’s a fine reminder that quality is not what it once was!
Great subject. I too remember ones that got away, but I do have the first gun I ever bought myself. A brand new Colt 1911 in 1979, at the suggestion of my father who carried one as a Lieutenant in Europe during WWII. It’s the last gun I would ever sell.
Hickok45 thank you so much. As always excellent video!
A Model 19-3. Pinned and recessed, nickel-plated. I never actually owned it; it was under $800 at my gun shop. I wanted it but had a 686-6+ on layaway, so I passed on it. Still wish I'd bought it. I found a beat up Model 29-2 I passed on and regretted; the second time I found one, it was in much better condition and I didn't let it get away. I won't likely sell it unless I need rent. First .44 Magnum ever.
My most regretted “one that got away” was a 1984 4”bbl blued Ruger Security Six .357mag with the adjustable rear sight. Sold it in a moment of true financial crisis when my wife lost her job, and wish I’d sold my Colt Commander 1991 Series instead.
Glad to see you got it back!
You can't beat this man, best out there for learning
I fell in love with that Hi Power and 2 months ago went and got myself one like it, same vintage😁
I sold a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 when I left Alaska. It was at the bottom of required firepower in the Alaska outback. I sold it to a friend. I bought it new very cheap and sold it cheap. That was 1979.
Thanks for the knowledge. I have had a few that got away that I wish I had back, but some were traded for good reason. Now, I keep everything. Once it it's mine, it usually stays.
Gotta love how much you can tell Hickok loves that crumby little charter bulldog even though he doesn't totally admit it lol.
Sometimes even a cheap "low quality" gun is something we like a lot.
Love your videos bud. I'm a truck driver and you keep me entertained on the road thank you
I've only sold one gun I've ever owned. It was a DAO SP101, and was sold to fund the purchase of another SP101. This time it was the Wiley Clapp version. A sale that I never regretted making. Still have the Wiley Clapp too. My favorite revolver to shoot.
Happy Belated Birthday Hickok !!
My favorites are the Ruger blackhawks made somewhere between 1973 to around 1977. the only difference between those and earlier ones were the transfer bar. Everything else was the same. Maybe even a better finish than the older ones. you had only 4 years then Ruger changed em a bit. not the same finish either. Biggest benefit was you had everything as the earlier ones but could carry 6 shots instead of 5.
My very first firearm, and my first got away, was my S&W Model 19 Combat Magnum. Still bummed about selling it, but I have an undisclosed number of the same firearm -3 and -4 now and thoroughly enjoy shooting them. When I can afford one, I'll go hunting for a -2 or, dare I hope, a first generation.
Really enjoyable video! You still have one of the best channels on CZcams. Best wishes from Old England.
More than one over the years. However two stand out, the “one” is a Smith 58 that I picked up, stripped off the bumper chrome, filed the sights to point of aim and had it satin nickeled. A friend now passed had talked me out of it years ago, don’t know what his widow did with it.
The other was a Manurhin Walther PP in .32 that I cut in an old MMC adjustable rear sight and put an appropriate front sight with a brass bead. Talk about a small game gun, grouse, rabbits and squirrels all came to the pot thanks to it. Something flashy and long gone now, with a lot less class came between the two of us.
One in particular I never wanted back, 20 years ago I gave my father a 1911. It came back recently, and was given to my son as his inheritance. It will sit in the back of the safe until he gets out of college.
I once had a ruger single six in the stainless steel model that I loved. As fate would have it, I needed money to buy groceries for my family. In 1978 I sold it for $125.00 and thought I did well. Now that same item is worth 6 times that amount. Oh well such is life, but it eats at me all the time.
Fun topic of discussion. Great content, as always 👍
These are my favorite, I like listening to you, feel like I'm learning something.
100% true statement. 1886 Lebel, and a hole bunch of 1873 Springfield Trapdoor parts.
This is one of my favorites, color grips every thing about it, and the converted man with no name conversion is the real cowboy gun I have to say when it come to revolver pistols, the 2 of them are my favorites
Many years ago when I was young and Dumb. I sold my Grandfathers Colt 1911 that he carried in WWII....It made me sick to have to do it but, money was tight and at the time it was the only way I could think of to pay the bills. Looking back almost 20 yrs now. It still makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. I told myself that day, that I would never buy a gun that I didnt want to keep forever. For the most part I have stayed true to that. But I have had a couple that turned out to be junk and have let them go with no regrets.
Man, that 1911 series 70 is some kind of wonerful looking. Reunited and it feels...
So good
Hickok speaks for so many of us gun guys.
A trip down memory lane. Life is too short to have regrets!
I may only be 31 but this man has changed the types of firearms I've bought for about 7 years. He's responsible for me buying a no dash 686 instead of getting my truck fixed oh well I can get it fixed anytime. Finding another 686 is a different story at least locally very happy with my purchase albeit a somewhat irresponsible one but alot of folks have already offered to buy it for more than I paid so I'd say I did alright
You might be talking about the 870 Wingmaster! I had one back in the seventies that was exactly like you describe!
So true. I’ve been collecting since age 14. Now 64 still lamenting the ones I’ve traded off and paid more than 1/3 to 1/2 more to buy back. Still have a few more to get back!
Ha 1972? My goodness I got my first personal firearm in 1971 (S&W Model 27) Issued police revolver earlier and subsequently bought K-38 and a Sauer and Son 7.65
Off the force now and have no firearm but miss them a lot. I live vicarously through you "young feller!"
Another great video. I do enjoy your videos and your talks on these guns. As a kid We only had double and single barrel shotguns. My first handgun in the 1980’s was a Ruger 357 magnum. A great gun but the wrong one for a handgun novice. I couldn’t hit anything with a 357 load. Traded in for a Ruger P95. I wish I had never traded in the magnum. We all have those stories, and yes, it was not enough money.
Thank you again for your videos.
I bought a 740 Remington 30-06 in 1977 from an elderly man for $135. I used it unto 1984 and it was loaned out and came back when a friend needed a good shooting rifle several times. One day my Dad called and asked if I still had it. He knew the grandson of the man I bought it from and wanted to know if I would sell it. The end of this story is I sold it to the grandson of the man for $150. As far as I know it is still in the family it came from. I have great memories of it.
Happy belated birthday, sir. Keep doing what you're doing well!
Hickok is a national treasure!
Um prazer enorme assistí-lo atirando, o que faz muito bem! Parabéns! Sou seu fã.
Only one I’ve sold and regretted was a Winchester model 94 “big bore” XTR, .375 Winchester lever action. Never could find more then a box every couple years for ammo but it was the sweetest lever action I enjoyed.
Hickok that is exactly what happened to my Model 57 41 Magnum 6". Back in the mid eighties a local Guy had a 300 Savage Mod 99 Lever action that I badly wanted. Being a younger Guy and not having a lot of money. I couldn't just buy it. Since he wanted the 41 Magnum we were able to make a deal. I was very happy with the Savage but still to this day regret letting the 41 Magnum get away. That will be my next gun to buy hopefully one day soon. Great video by the way!
Tough call. I'm one of those other guys. I still have plenty of 99s, so letting one go to pay for a 57 wasn't a tough call for me.
That’s an awesome collection of firearms!
A table filled with mostly blued steel beautiful firearms.
Those blued steel guns , when they are cleaned up and very very lightly oiled , are simply amazingly beautiful.
